How to implement Team Building The process of team building involves, • clarifying the goal, and building ownership across the team • identifying the inhibitors to teamwork and removing or overcoming them, or if they cannot be removed, mitigating their negative effect on the team. • To assess itself, a team seeks feedback to find out: 1. its current strengths as a team 2. its current weakness
How to implement Team Building To improve its current performance, a team uses the feedback from the team assessment in order to: 1. identify any gap between the desired state and the actual state 2. design a gap-closure strategy

STAGES OF TEAM BUILDING(STORMING) • Storming: As group members continue to work, they will engage each other in arguments about the structure of the group which often are significantly emotional and illustrate a struggle for status in the group. These activities mark the storming phase: Lack of cohesion, Subjectivity, Hidden agendas, Conflicts, Confrontation, Volatility, Resentment, anger, Inconsistency, Failure.
STAGES OF TEAM BUILDING(NORMING) Norming: Group members establish implicit or explicit rules about how they will achieve their goal.
